Finally can tell my aggy story.    Have a good insight into this kids recruitment and I’m still laughing about his visit to aggy. Dude gets his player host (I’ll let y’all find who that is) and

How do you think this is helpful? Not being a jerk, just asking y'all to keep your shit together and use common sense. In any event, I know for a fact that nothing ever happens with Texas until a

He could have if he isn't. Play devil's advocate and tell us why you feel about this guy's overall approach to his recruitment and how that either translates to the next level or doesn't matter.

The important parts:

Regarding Texas
Dominick: “I love how Coach (Steve) Sark(isian) is really honest and he’s honest with all his players and his coaching staff, and how Coach Bo (Davis) is energetic and honest with you as well and they can get things rolling.”
Angie: “We were able to visit them twice. A great staff. Coach Bo was very welcoming, was knowledgable, able to answer all our questions. Coach Sark he just text me a couple days ago. He’s always in touch. I feel confident they could grow Dominick in every aspect.”
 
Regarding Texas A&M

Dominick: “Love how Coach E(lijah) Robinson, Coach Tony (Jerod-Eddie) they treat all their players like they’re their own family. They have a great community and they take care of their players.”
Angie: “I not only got to know the coaches, I got to know their families as well, where I knew they would text me after church, ‘how was church, we did that at church today.’ It was really like a family. I know that Coach Robinson has a great personality, one that Dominick can connect with. Coach Mason (Smith) is always texting Dom and keeping in touch. Even with me, they became like family as well.”
Angie said her son has gone “back and forth” on his final two.
“We’ll see what his final decision will be,” she said.
 

So aggy is now just one big happy church family.

They all go to the church they built for Dindy's pops.

That kid and his mom are going to fall for Dumbo's BS and then have to find out in-person how toxic that locker room/culture is.  Guess how last year went wasn't enough evidence.

Hope they’ve done sufficient research regarding aggy racism….does aggy have any DT’s?

Momma + church does not bode well for our beloved university in the heathen, libertine big city.

McKinley is either lying about having made up his mind over a month ago or he is lying about having interest in Aggy. Either way, lying is unbiblical and I’d hate for his dishonest ass to be a negative influence on Aggy’s churchy locker room. I guess he might as well come to Texas instead.

just in case people forgot:

McKinnley Jackson was caught with 22 grams of a controlled substance (originally it was reported it was Xanax but was adjusted to ketamine), which was a 2nd degree felony and a 1.4 oz of weed.

he was suspended for two games, vs Kent State and Colorado.

initially it was talked about as another example of police coming down too hard on players, but this is how they found it and found out who it was:

Quote

 

On April 7, a Sani-Cloth canister containing marijuana and blue, rectangular pills was found in the hallway of a Park West apartment building by custodial staff, according to the report. Surveillance video revealed the canister fell out of the backpack of an individual later identified as Jackson, according to the report filed by the University Police Department.

Five days later, the report states Jackson went to the University Police Department and admitted that he was the individual in the video and that the canister and its contents belonged to him. He also identified the drugs as marijuana and “bars,” a slang term for Xanax, according to the report.

A search warrant was issued for Jackson’s apartment, and drug paraphernalia was found in his room, according to the report.

Of course the team with a staff that includes a guy that killed a kid, an adulterer, and a racist asshole wins out on “church”. Unreal.

Idk, sounds like all this information is just Aggie side. Up until this week it was he keeps everything so tight and blah blah blah then all of a sudden it’s this. Seems peculiar.

Don't forget a university president that got caught being racist and trying to prevent the hiring of a qualified black professor

Oh well, our D-Line Haul is still nice, hoping we can land our edge prospects as well as find a late diamond to finish off the interior. 
 

imo Baker and Black are still the two that should be #1&2 on our board. Interested to see how Sark can finish off the class

No argument from me, I understand that’s the reality there. It’s the fact that his mother is saying that publicly that makes me worry she doesn’t understand that.

Positive Baker update from Gerry

Brandon Baker getting closer to a decision

The recruitment of Brandon Baker continues to move toward a decision. And that decision could be by the end of September. The 6-foot-4.5, 303-pounder remains scheduled to make an official visit to Nebraska on September 16. That will be the fourth official visit of the process for the five-star offensive tackle. He made June officials to Ohio State, Texas and Georgia.

The No. 1 ranked offensive tackle in the On3 Industry Ranking has Texas, Oregon, Ohio State and Nebraska truly in the mix. The Texas staff continues to have confidence for good reason based on intel from the Inside Texas side and the On3 network side. The Longhorns remain expected to be one of two final schools behind the scenes when it comes to decision time. Texas has received positive feedback from Baker, the family and the extended circle around the recruitment in the last week.

Outside of Collin Simmons, why are we so  bad at recruiting 5 stars on the defensive line?

I know you know this, but those recruitments are the most vicious and heated recruitments out of any. Everybody needs them, especially teams with high aspirations, and there's not enough of them to go around. 

My burnt orange brain assumes that we'll fight dirty, but not quite as dirty as everyone else. That we'll focus on our NIL, rather than bags, and talking up our program, rather than tearing down other programs. I'm sure we negative recruit, I just don't think we do it to the degree necessary. I'm probably being naïve, but that seems to be Sark's style and the style he wants his staff to adopt. I'm sure Coach Bo knows what buttons to push, he's been doing this long enough, but the strategy is being set by Sark. 

With this McKinley specifically, I'm wondering if LSU, Texas, and OU didn't knock each other out of it. A&M wasn't really on the radar, and maybe the front runners tore each other down to the point that it gave A&M a chance to slide back in late. I obviously don't have any inside information, but they may have been able to play up the church angle because no one thought enough of their chances to point out all the moral failings of that program.

Fumble at the one?  What the fuck are you talking about?  A kid who has played most of his recruitment very close to the vest appears to now be leaning away from Texas.  The same people that said just a week ago that he was heavily leaning towards Texas and all their predictions pointed to Texas are now saying the opposite.  The only thing that has changed is the quality of the intel at these shitty websites not that there was some significant development on Texas' side and someone dropped the ball on the recruitment?

We've been surviving off Herman's leftovers at interior DL so far, but we're going to take a big step back in 2024. Just haven't been able to land enough bluechips at a position where we really need more quality depth.

Jaray Bledsoe, Aaron Bryant, Sydir Mitchell, Byron Murphy’s development, Alex January, D’Antre Robinson, Melvin Hills, and portal guys as needed.

We’re fine.

Regardless of McKinley, do we think the staff will look to the JUCO ranks for a DT?  We are going to need another body ready to play meaningful snaps next year, wether it's from the portal or JUCO.

I could see Robinson maybe factoring in being an EE, but Hills and January more than likely red shirt.

Our two best DT's this year were composite 3*'s (Sweat and Murphy).  What duo in the Big 12 would we trade them for?  They are probably a top third DT duo in the SEC as well.

I wanted McKinley because he was a 5 star and being pursued heavily by Texas.

I was less interested when I heard about a potential lack of passion for the game.

I was more interested when I heard he considered academics important, indicating he's got a good head on his shoulders.

I was less interested when I heard he wants to major in computer science, because computer dweebs are bad football players usually.

I was more interested when i heard he was leaning A&M or OU, because dammit I don't want them to have him.

I was less interested when I realized I needed to get a life and stop caring about the decisions of an 18 year old I don't even know.

Portal is tough at DT. It isnt like WR. There are not a lot of game changers at DT in the portal, programs do everything to keep them on the roster. The few that get away are just as tough to land, as 5 star DTs.
